Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The decision of Sachin Tendulkar, arguably the greatest batsman of any era, not to retire from Test cricket at present is a great boost to the survival of the longer version of the game, following his retirement from one day cricket which he also dominated with consummate precision.

Dear Editor, Interesting letters join the discussion on sexual violation and Islam.

Dear Editor, For someone like Ms Doreen Nelson, General Manager of the National Insurance Scheme, with reportedly more than 25 years of service, to be accused of being disrespectful to the Board of which she is deputy Chairperson, there has to be a plausible reason for the resignation in apparent anger.

Dear Editor, It was indeed a sad day in Canje 43 years ago.

Dear Editor, One has two options in dealing with a letter from the Public Relations Officer of Guyana Water Inc, Mr Timothy Austin, captioned ‘Residents of No 53 Village do receive treated water‘: either ignore this response from an official who is clearly unfamiliar with the operations at the grassroots level, or correct his assumption.

Dear Editor, A BBC story of a Sri Lankan maid who was beheaded by Saudia Arabian authorities caught my attention.

Dear Editor, The recent statement by Dr David Hinds on ‘Plain Talk’ giving the APNU coalition building process and activity in parliament an ‘F’ grade might well rattle the nerves of formal political structures, but should actually be viewed as a positive indicator of a developing political culture in Guyana. 

Dear Editor, I have been following the discussion between Swami Aksharananda and Messrs ul Haq, Bakr and Ally regarding the issue of rape with much interest.
